Robert Indries Profile Photo

Robert Indries

Owner of 8 Businesses Generating 7-Figures Yearly

I was born into a modest family in a very small town in Transylvania, Romania. I spent the first part of my life on farms, caring for livestock and working land.
When I was young, my family told me “If you want to learn, you can learn in any school.” I think that’s the pre-school version of “You can achieve anything you want to achieve, no matter where you are right now.” And that’s exactly what I continue to believe.
Traveling gave me an ideal vantage point to observe common mistakes and successes in businesses on a world-wide scale. This mindset has helped me to build an empire of 8 businesses generating 7-figures yearly, to travel over 100,000 miles visiting 17 countries, speaking in front of thousands of people in 3 different languages, and to maintain a loving relationship with my gift from God, Diana, and our close family and friends.
Throughout these years, I have also:
* Generated over $500,000,000 in business value for my clients. * Delivered on over 200 projects for clients in 19 different sectors. * Consulted over 1,000 professionals to achieve 2-10X higher levels of effectiveness. * Created athlete-level health and an amazing marriage in between.
